2 Week Japan Itinerary Check – Tokyo , Nikko , Yokohama , Kamakura , Kyoto

First time trip to Japan for a group of 3 – 35 old Males. Oct. 7-20 / 2024.

This is a first go at a more detailed itinerary for our trip , need some feedback on if this seems feasible or not. While in Tokyo and Kyoto our group is wanting time to get lost / explore in neighborhoods , but still see a few sights / main attractions each day. I have done a lot of research and read a Japan travel book but this is personally my first real trip abroad , so forgive any naivety.

TOKYO Monday Oct. 7 – Land in Narita 430PM – Asakusa Hotel – Explore around hotel

TOKYO Tuesday Oct. 8 – Senso-ji – Tokyo National Museum – Ueno Park – Akihabara – Skytree

TOKYO Wednesday Oct. 9 -TeamLab Planets – Meiji Jingu – Omotesando/Harajuku – Shibuya Sky for sunset – Shibuya Crossing – Drinks in Ebisu this day seems tight , may potentially change Shibuya crossing / Shibuya Sky to another day , if this is the case it will just give more time to spend in and around Ebisu
